Dog and pony show… off their love

Meet Dally and Spanky — the incredible dog and pony show that’s been warming hearts and dazzling spectators across the nation.

The 6-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and 7-year-old miniature horse travel the country performing a score of tricks for sellout crowds, Barcroft Media reports.

“It’s really special to see the trust they have between each other,” said trainer Francesca Carson. “It’s remarkable for a horse to allow a dog to jump on him whenever he wants.”

Carson lives on a ranch near Spokane, Washington and rescued Spanky when he was just two-years-old, according to Barcroft.

“She gets really protective of him and growls when other dogs get too close to him,” she said, describing Dally. “Along with performing together they also drink and eat together – they’re really close friends.”

But when the lights go down, it’s nothing but business for the dynamic duo.

“When it is showtime Dally gets really excited and loves to show off in front of the crowds,” Carson said. “She loves riding on Spanky’s back as she can see a lot more when higher up.”
